I got an email from Park Slope's own Milton, the leader of the great
Americana/roots band that bears his name, about a very worthwhile
benefit that's happening this Sunday:

"Sunday's show at the Living Room is very close to my heart.  Our
friend Adam Levy has invited us to play a 40 minute set at 8:30pm. 
He'll be getting up to do a number with us too in addition to his own
set.  Adam's wife Mia died of Ocular Melanoma just a few months ago. 
The show will be a fundraiser for the Ocular Melanoma Foundation and a
tribute to Mia.  Mia was a good friend of many of the other performers
in the show.  As a close personal friend of Mia myself and the son of
an ocular cancer survivor, this cause is very important to me.  Come on
down to the Living Room if you're free.  The whole band will be there."

Even if you're not familiar with Adam, chances are that you've heard
him.  He was the guitar player in Norah Jones' Handsome Band, Norah's
band until it was dissolved this year.  Also on the bill in addition to
Milton and Adam are Pete and J, Bill Sim, Jr. and Nels Andrews.  The
donation for this fine show is $10.

The Mia Abides: Fundraiser for Ocular Melanoma, The Living Room, 154
Ludlow Street (F Train to Second Avenue, use the First Avenue Exit and
walk one block south and two blocks east), 7pm, $10.
